There is now an active initiative between MBB and Neve Shalom Wahat al Salam (NSWAS), an integrated Israeli Jewish and Israeli Palestinian village in Israel. MBB Board Member Rachel Wohl and Founding Members Dorit Cypis and Louis Posen will be traveling to visit NSWAS between January 25, 2008 and February 2, 2009, to meet with village representatives and others to assess how best MBB could help them expand their mediation program's services well beyond the village.

We invite two or three other MBB mediators who have a strong passion and interest in transforming Middle East conflict issues to join us on this trip. As we three are of Jewish origin, it would be ideal if our team included another three mediators of Arab origin.
